A few days ago two ladies, one Of
whom carried baby, entered Bos-
ton carpet store and signified their de-
sire to look at some carpets. 1t was
very warm day, but the sales
man cheerfully showed roll after
roll, until the perSpirat;on literally
streamed from every pore of his body.
Finally one of the ladies asked the
other if she did not think it was time to
go. '',&ot quite" was the answer of her
companion, and then. in an undertone,
she added: 'sBaby likes 10 see him roll
them out, and it is not time to take the
train.''

Down the stream the ''boom" is floating
Like lumber avalanche
Toward the man below, who, noting
Its proportions, gins to blaneh.
Sort that lot my worthy poler,"
says the queen, sand l will VOW
That there's not beneath yon solar
Such lumberman as thou.

Like hero hot foi slaughter,
Jumps he to the sorting fray;
Mounts log-then seeks the water
In an amateurish way.
Ger and DER again he rises,
Drenehed, but plucky, on beam.
But, alas! each log capsizes
Him into the flowing stream.

Must women, weak (attractive)
Show you men how not to fall?

A ROMANCE OF THE LOGS.
TIM the Logger was sorter
OF the logs, as, with a swish
Ana Souse they cleft the water
OF lumber stream in Mich.
Great was he in deeds of logging.
Sure upon his floating floor.
Shunting, polling, pushing, Jogging
Forest monarehs by the score.

Could this be a lumber queen0

Yes, indeed! For see, she's coming.
Poised upon floating tree.
Nonehalant, cantata humming.
Polling oh, SO gracefully
Tim, aShaSt at such a vision.
Totters ON his tricky beam
And excites the qneen's derision
AS he falls into the stream.

So she brought rival poIer
To attend her p d. Q.'s,

Scheming how to well abuse

THE NEW, OR POTTER PROCESS.
By this process the same principles
are employed as in the present process,
but they are differently applied, thus
rendering the process more economical
The blast furnace is charged with the
silver or gold ore, together with flux and
fuel. The mass is then allowed to
fuse and form Stag, which is drawn off
and passed over bath of molten lead,
in lead well, located OH the outside of
the furnace. The lead is pumped up
and carried above, and allowed to fall
upon and run through the molten Stag
as it is being conveyed over the lead
WELL thereby causing the lead to thor
Oughly penetrate the molten Stag, gath
ering all the precious metal and
carrying it to the lead well.
When this molten lead in the
well becomes rich to the extent of
6 per cent or more in precious metal. it
is then ready to deSilveriZe. The SlagiS
now shut off from this well and is al
lowed to flow over similar well on the
other side of the furnace, and is sub
Jected TO the same treatment, thus al
lowing time and opportunity for the de-
silyeriZing of the molten lead in the
first well, which may contain twenty
tons of the molten mixture.
The zinc fer desilverizing is,added as
in the present process, but instead of
being stirred and mixed by workmen,
by means of poles, it is done by lead
pump which is kept at work forcing lead
from the bottom of the well and dis
charging it at the top, thereby mixing
more thoroughly the zinc with the lead.
The crust containing the precious metal
is removed as in the present
process, but the molten and cleansed
lead is not cast into pigs but is retained
and is ready for immediate and indefi-
mite use for extracting metals from their
slagS.
The estimated cost of reducing one
ton of dry silver ore, containing $50
ounces of silver is shown as follows:
One Ton Silver Ore. $50 ounces per ton
300 pounds iron ore, 20 per cent iron s. 37l2

Tim the Logger had been scanning
With delight his rivals fall;
But, as he had ne'er been planning
Her discontinue at all,
When she slipped and sank fearful
Sense of wiokednss felt he;
And repentant-eyen fearful :
: Witnessed there her jeopardy.

In triee he gained the timber
- In a twink he took dive;
Tim was quick, and strong, and timber,
SO he brought her out alive.
Then across those logs he bore her
With so sure and skilled tread,
Ihat an admiration DER her
came, and-possibly they'll wed.

This produces 2,4OO pounds of base

Cur e ,lasnakes.

It must be admitted that there are some
rattlesnaEe es about Great Falls. They like
the soil, e';Inate and perhaps the scenery.
and SO resolutely reuse to leave. Settlers
from the cities generally acquire mortal
fear OF the rattlesnake, probably because
of the snake stories in which pioneers de-
light. These fears are .,roundless. IN the
first place, a rattlesnaIe will not chase
yeu. and in the second place, it will not
attack you unless you come upon il in such
a way that it caanot escape without at
tacling. It a rsttlesnake is disturbed it
usually sounds its rattle and makes Of,
but If You come upon It suddenly and it
has to fight it will coil itself up, noise its
head and strike at you downward. The
fang IL turned under the upper jaw. end
as it strikes this is throWn out and cuts
into the flesh. f is as sharp as razor
and goes through d thin boot like steel
blade. What Ia the best antidote? Whis.

THE OFF-TEAR.

This is an off year in politics, but
its indications will be studied care
fully with reference to their bearings
on the presidential campaign. The
platforms SO far reflect no change in
party principles and leanings, In
Ohio, where both sides adopted long
declarations, the Democrats demand
ed lower duties, while the Republic
ans declared in favor of high tariff, !,
with no reduction at all on wool or
woolen goods, The Republicans took
firm stand in favor Of liberal pen
sions and in accordance with the
Wing traditions they advocated
improvement Of the national water
ways and national aid to educa-
tion. They would reduce the surplus
revenue by abolishing the internal
tax upon Ameliea-grown tobacco
The Democratic platform opposes this
reduction in the interest of lower
tariff, but agrees with the Republican
platform in calling for restraints on
foreign immigration. The Repub-
1ican platform puts forward Senator
Sherman for president, while the
Democratic declaration endorses the
Cleveland administration. 1t is clear
that the politicians have found no new
burning issue, and that the campaign
will be fought out on the old party
lines. Voters are in fact likely to
disregard the platforms and vote for
each party according to its general
tendencies and their former leanings.
The Texan and Kentucky campaigns,
and the subsequent voting are better
political indicators than the Ohio
platforms. IL Texas prohibition was
discussed throughout the state and
received the support Of prominent
Democrats, such as Senator Regan.
It was rejected at the polls by large
majority, but it received stronger
vote than would have been deemed
possible few years ago. In Ken
tucky the Democratic ticket was Of
course elected, but there was large
increase in the Republican vote own
ing to the greater number of colored
men who went to the polls, the result
of better organization.
The labor party continues to occa-
sion some anexiety to the old party
leaders. In Ohio it has placed state
ticket in the field, but in New York
where the party was supposed to be
strongest there are grave dissensioas
in the ranks. In Chicago it has not
recovered from the last defeat. It is
probable that the party will retain CO.
hesion enough to nominate 3 state |
Great Falls tribune., 1887-08-10
ticket IN New York, next year, when
it will render that state extremely
doubtful SO far as the old parties are
concerned.
THE COAL QUESTION.

The narroWness which considers
that one district cannot thrive with
out disparaging the other is seen in
the Bozeman Chronicle, which says:
The coal properties around Bozeman
will be worked this fall for all they are
worth. Several owners have large con-
tracts on their hand, while others are ne
goiating with large consumers with good
prospects of success, and it is evident al
ready that the Bozeman coal fields will
DE the scene of great activity this fall The
refiort that the Manitoba railroad intends
to build branch to the Sand Coulee coal
mines does not acare anyone. The MAORI
ty of the coal owners hereabouts are thor
oughly informed as TO the extent and
quality of the Sand Coulee coal and have
no fear of it becoming competitor in the
market The outlook for coal owners was
never better, and there ought to be some
money made in this commodity soon.
The Sand Coulee branch referred
to is not a report, but will be an ac-
tual fact. As to quality the Sand
Coulee is equal to any in the north
west, but as regards extent we do not
pretend to speak. In Pennsylvania,
where coal has been mined for half a
century, people do not claim to know
the limits of the fields. But actual
tests show that there is a vast coal
field here which includes the Sand
Coulee, Belt creek and Smith river
deposits, making in the aggregate,
millions of tons. Some amateur
miners buy stamp mills first and
search for the ore afterward. The
owners of the Sand Cou'ee mines
took care to ascertain that there was
abundance of coal there before they
decided to build a railroad from here
to the mines-We have a high opin-
ion of the Bozeman coal-felds and
we advise the owners to develop them.
There will be demand enough for all.

G. P. THOMSON, the enterprising dry
goods merchant, speaks as follows in
his circular: II can confdentially as
sert that / sell my goods at as low
prices as they can be bought for in
Montana, quality considered; and I
hold out a standing offer to sell any
goods for 10 per cent less, including
postage, than the same quality of
goods can be bought for from any
eastern retail job house that sends out
catalogues, and Is per cent less than
any peddling outfit" This offer shows
what can be done in business way
here. It applies to all goods in gen
eral use as well as to fabrics. Some
people order from catalogues and find
after remitting the price with postage
that they have no redress, when shelf
worn goods are unloaded On them. As
for the peddlers, no prudent house
wife will buy their trashy goods.

The PAPERS are full OF dialogues
which never took place, and stories
which are just as groundless. There
is danger of overriding this 'shumor-

rowed unwittingly from the French,
whose Figaro contains regularly such
repartees. But some of our humor-

also and use it as sparingly.

MetrOuOlltam Hall.

Unless the stockholders of Metro
politan Hall make some very nee
essary improvements to the stage
there, it is doubtful if ketchum
will be included in the Wood River
circuit. Manager NOLAN is max
ing every effort to bring in this di-
rection first class dramatic attrac-
tons but in so doing he also wants a
properly arranged place in which
performances can be given. The
stage as it is now is entirely mad
equate for a decent presentment OF
any play. 1t should be extended
in depth at least fifteen feet more
and the necessary scenery provided
so that some little attention to the
details of play can be given. The
improvements will probably cost
about 1925, and Manager NOLAN
will be glad to assist the owners in
showing the necessary improve
ments needed and make arrange
ments for the scenery required SO
that it can be procured at very lit
tie cost. Unless something is done
to improve the stage he does not
think it will pay him to bring any
company here.

has used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
to let it it's wonderful qualities be

Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,

relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty OF
all Druggists to recommend 1t to the
poor, dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported.

The primary department of the
public school, which during the
winter months has been taught by
Miss Hough in the Union Church
building, has been transferred to
the main school and the services
of the teacher dispensed with. This
action was necessary on account OF
the lack of funds to pay an addi-
tional teacher. There are now an
average of one hundred scholars
attending the school, an entirely
too great number for one teacher
to handle, and the addition of the
primary class will work hardship
to not only Prof. Griswold, but the
scholars generally. The directors
regret the necessity of combining
the two departments for the re-
mainder of the term, but the want
of sufficient money in the treasury
compelled such action. Next year
the district will be better supplied
with funds, and the school will be
kept up for nine months, with one
short and two long vacations inter
vening. The new school house
will also be built and the services
of two competent teachers secured
for both the summer and winter
terms

FleA6lSh Act Of = Jealous Has
band NJ AhD0hD00>

On last Wednesday evening q
former employee of the Oregon
Short Line company named Will
lam Murray shot his wife at Sho-
shone. The bullet pierced the neck
of the woman and severed the ca
rotid artery, lodging in the muscles
at the back of the neck. The cou-
pie had been married but q few
months, and the husband being
much older than his wife was jeal-
ous of any attention paid to her.
On the day of the shooting she re-
ceived a postal card from a gentle
man friend addressed to her in her
maiden name, which aroused the
ire Of her jealous spouse and he
forbade her answering the note.
Persisting in doing so, Murray
drew a revolver and shot her. I'm
mediately after he left the house,
going in the direction Of the lava
beds. A party is in pursuit, and
in all probability will succeed in
capturing the would-be murderer
At last accounts Mrs. Murray was
in a precarious condition. Mrs
Murray's maiden name was Land
and her sister is the wife of Mr.
Bowers, the we'll known stockmar
of Rockmine.

The performance of Uncle Toms
Cabin by the McFadden company,
at Metropolitan Hall, on Thursday
night, was one of the best given in
Ketchum for a long time. The
play is but little like the original
drama, which brought tears of sor-
row to the eyes of thousands over
little Eva and the misfortunes OF
Uncle Tom. 1t has become more
a medium for the display of spe-
cialties, and in this line the Nc
Fadden combination gives full sat
isfaction. The blood hounds, trick
donkeys and the little pickaninnies
form an attraction that always
takes and furnishes an endless fund
of amusement. The company en-
tire gives just what is promised,
a first-class show, and is well
worthy of a liberal patronage
wherever it goes. Miss Darlington
as Topsy is an artist of consummate
skill and has won Tor herself a rep
utation envieus to many, but a
source of extreme qualification to
her friends. The company give
two performances at HALEY after
leaving here and leave for the west
on Monday.
